1 Aantu ayehe muIsrael okuza kuDan kuumbangalantu, sigo oBeersheba muumbugantu, osho wo evi lyaGilead muuzilo, oya tondoka onkugo. Oya gongala puMispa ya ya omuyo gumwe miipathi yOmuwa. 2 Aawiliki yomazimo agehe gaIsrael omo ya li moshigongi shika shoshigwana shaKalunga, nokwa li aakwiita yokolupadhi 400 000. 3 Pokati mpoka Aabenjamin oya kundana kutya Aaisraeli yalwe ayehe oya gongala muMispa.
Aaisraeli oya pula: “Tu hokololeleni, iihuna mbika nkene ya longwa.” 4 Omulevi ngoka gwoshikumbu sha dhipagwa okwa yamukula: “Tse noshikumbu shandje otwa yile kuGibea moshilongo shaBenjamin, tu ka konge omulalo uusiku mboka. 5 Aalumentu yokuGibea oya ponokele ndje noya kondeke egumbo moka nda li nda lala. Oya li ya hala okudhipaga ndje; peha lyaashoka oya lala oshikumbu shandje koonkondo e tashi si. 6 Ngame onda kutha omudhimba gwasho nonde gu tete miitopolwa e te tumu oshitopolwa shimwe kukehe ezimo lyaIsrael. Aantu mbaka oya longo iihuna mokati ketu. 7 Amuhe mbaka mu li mpaka, Aaisraeli. Otatu shi ningi ngiini?”
8 Aantu ayehe oya thikama e taa ti: “Kape na nande gumwe gwetu, ongele a kala motenda nenge megumbo, ta ka shuna kaandjawo. 9 Shika osho shoka tatu ningi. Otatu umbu oshihogololitho, tu hogolole aalumentu yamwe ya matukile Gibea. 10 Oshitimulongo shimwe shaalumentu muIsrael otashi sile iikulya yaakwiita oshimpwiyu, nayalwe otaa yi e taa geele Gibea molwiihuna mbika ya longo muIsrael.” 11 Osho ngaaka aalumentu ayehe ya gongala muIsrael ye na elalakano limwe — ya matukile oshilando shoka.
12 Omazimo gaIsrael oga tumu aatumwa momikunda adhihe dhezimo lyaBenjamin taa ti: “Iihuna oya tya ngiini mbyoka mwa longo? 13 Ngashingeyi gandjeni aapwidhuki mboka yomuGibea, opo tu ya dhipage, tu kuthe mo oshipwe muIsrael.” Ihe Aabenjamin inaa pupa ko kAaisraeli ooyakwawo. 14 Oya kongoloka kiilando ayihe yaBenjamin noye ya kuGibea, ya kondjithe Aaisraeli ooyakwawo. 15-16 Oyi ithana aakwiita omayuvi omilongo mbali nagahamano ya zi kiilando yawo. Kakele nee kaambaka Aagibea oya gongele natango aalumentu aahogololwa omathele gaheyali aanalumoho. Shaa ngoka gwomuyo okwa li e shi kuumba nomamanya itaa palutha nando. 17 Oshihupe shomazimo gaIsrael osha gongele aakwiita ya dheukika 400 000.
Iita yokukondjitha Aabenjamin
18 Aaisraeli oya yi kehala lyelongelokalunga Betel. Oko nkoka ya pula Kalunga ya ti: “Ezimo olini tali matukile tango Aabenjamin?”
Omuwa okwa yamukula: “Ezimo lyaJuda.”
19 Osho Aaisraeli oya penduka ongula ya landula noya yungu ontanda ontega naGibea. 20 Oya yi e taa ponokele etangakwiita lyaBenjamin, noya tula aakwiita ya taalela oshilando. 21 Aakwiita Aabenjamin oya zi moshilando nuuna ndoka oya dhipaga aakwiita Aaisraeli omayuvi omilongo mbali nagaali. 22-23 Nena Aaisraeli oya yi kehala lyelongelokalunga noya lili oosa koshipala shOmuwa, sigo ongulohi. Oye mu pula: “Natu shune natango molugodhi, tu kondjithe aamwameme Aabenjamin?”
Omuwa okwa yamukula: “Eeno.”
Aakwiita Aaisraeli oya li yi itula mo noya tula aakwiita yawo melandulathano, ngaashi ya ningile nale. 24 Oya katuka yu ukilila aakwiita Aabenjamin olutiyali. 25 Olutiyali Aabenjamin oya zi muGibea nomoshikando shika oya dhipaga aakwiita ya dheuka yaIsrael omayuvi omulongo nagahetatu. 26 Nena oshigwana ashihe shaIsrael osha yi kuBetel, shi ka lile oosa. Oya kuutumba hoka koshipala shOmuwa yo inaa lya, sigo ongulohi. Oya yamba omakwatathanondjambo noya lungunitha omidhidhindjambo koshipala shOmuwa. 27-28 Oshikethahangano shaKalunga osha li muBetel momasiku ngeyaka, naPinehas yaEleasar, omutekulu gwaMoses, okwa li omudhiginini gwasho. Aaisraeli oya pula Omuwa: “Natu ye, tu ka kondjithe aamwameme Aabenjamin ishewe nenge natu shi ethe?”
Omuwa okwa yamukula: “Ke ya kondjitheni. Ongula otandi ke ye mu sinditha.”
29 Aaisraeli oya tula aakwiita miilangela momudhingoloko gwaGibea. 30 Nena esiku etitatu lya landula ko oya ka homona etangakwiita lyAabenjamin noya tula aakwiita yawo melandulathano ya taalela oshilando, ngaashi haa ningi shito. 31 Aabenjamin oya zi mo, ya kondje, noya hekelwa kondje yoshilando. Ngaashi shito oya tameke okudhipaga Aaisraeli meyalala moondjila ndhoka tadhi uka kuBetel nokuGibea. Oya dhipaga konyala Aaisraeli omilongo ndatu. 32 Aabenjamin oya ti: “Otwe ya dhenge nale, ngaashi hatu ningi shito.”
Ihe Aaisraeli oya ti: “Natu ningeni twa fa tatu yi ontuku e tatu ya heke, ye ye kokule noshilando ya lamba oondjila.”
33 Manga etangakwiita lyAaisraeli lya shuna lwanima nokutula ishewe moongundu puBaaltamar, aalumentu mboka ya li miilangela momudhingoloko gwaGibea gwa nika omamanya, oya hololoka ohaluka. 34 Aalumentu omayuvi omulongo ya tothwa muIsrael alihe, oya ponokele Gibea, nolugodhi olwa li olulululu. Aabenjamin inaa dhimbulula kutya oye li pokuhanagulwa po. 35 Omuwa okwa gandja kAaisraeli esindano okusinda etangakwiita lyAabenjamin. Esiku ndyoka Aaisraeli oya dhipaga aatondi 25 100. 36 Aabenjamin oya dhimbulula kutya oya sindika.
Nkene Aaisraeli ya sindi
Ombinga onene yetangakwiita lyAaisraeli oya li ya shuna lwanima molwAabenjamin, oshoka oyi inekele aalangeli mboka ya li momudhingoloko gwaGibea ya holama. 37 Aalangeli mbaka oya matukile Gibea; oyi ihana noshilando ashihe e taa dhipaga omuntu kehe moka. 38 Ombinga onene yetangakwiita oya li yu uvathana naalangeli kutya ngele tayi mono oshikogo sholwithi moshilando, 39 nena oyi na okupiluka. Manga shika inaashi ningwa, Aabenjamin oya adhika ya dhipaga Aaisraeli mbeyaka omilongo ndatu. Oya lombwelathana: “Eeno, otwe ya dhenge, ngaashi hatu ningi shito.” 40 Opo mpoka oshikogo sholwithi osha tameke okutsinagala moshilando. Aabenjamin oya tala lwanima noya li ya kumwa, sho ye wete oshilando tashi lokota komulilo. 41 Nena Aaisraeli oya piluka ko. Aabenjamin oya li ya haluka, oshoka oya dhimbulula kutya oye li pokukombwa po. 42 Oya fadhuka po yu uka meyalala, ihe inaa vula we okuhenuka. Oya kondekwa kombinga onene yetangakwiita nokaalumentu mboka taa zi moshilando, noya thekekwa po. 43 Aaisraeli oya li ya tula aatondi momwigo noinaa zimbuka oku ya tidhagana, sigo okuuzilo waGibea, noye ya dhipaga. 44 Omayuvi omulongo nagahetatu yomaakwiita Aabenjamin ya pyokoka oya dhipagwa. 45 Yalwe oya punguluka noya yi ontuku yu uka komalundu, kemanya Rimmon. Omayuvi gatano gomuyo oya dhipagelwa mondjila. Aaisraeli oya tsikile okutidhagana oshihupe, sigo oGidom, noya dhipaga musho omayuvi gaali. 46 Aabenjamin ayehe kumwe mboka ya dhipagwa esiku ndyoka, oya li omayuvi omilongo mbali nagatano — ayehe oya li aakwiita ya pyokoka.
47 Ihe aalumentu omathele gahamano oya vulu okuya ontuku komalundu, kemanya Rimmon noya kala ko oomwedhi ne. 48 Aaisraeli oya galukile oshihupe shoka shAabenjamin noye shi dhipaga po ashihe — aalumentu, aakiintu naanona, osho wo iinamwenyo. Iilando ayihe oya fikwa po.
